Itron and Capgemini Engineering are celebrating over a decade of driving digital transformation and innovation in the utility industry. Capgemini's mission to unleash human energy through technology for a more inclusive and sustainable future directly aligns with Itron's purpose of creating a more resourceful world. Together, we're enhancing the customer experience and laying the foundation for utilities to build smarter, more resilient grids.

Advancing the Digital Transformation

With operations and clients spanning the globe, Capgemini partners with utility companies and their ecosystems to transform and manage business by unlocking the value of technology. The result includes a successful rollout, a modular architecture and continuous innovation towards the development of a smarter and more resilient power delivery infrastructure.

Faced with challenges such as increased energy demand, extreme weather, increased cyberattacks and an aging infrastructure, the utility industry needs to quickly adapt to this new reality. Widespread adoption of smart digital technology is key, which is where Capgemini's sector-specific expertise and Itron's decades of utility innovation come into play.

Capgemini and Itron work together to help utilities adopt cutting-edge technologies, including grid edge and distributed intelligence, embedded software, augmented engineering, GenAI, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and advanced communication networks, to build resilience into their infrastructure and improve service reliability. Together, the companies are enabling utilities to work smarter, not harder.

Enabling Intelligence at the Edge

As utilities face increasing grid complexity, Itron is providing utilities with greater visibility and more control than ever before with the Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio. Enabled by distributed intelligence technology, our solutions connect, detect, operate and manage devices to create a more efficient, optimized and intelligent grid. The solutions within the portfolio build on Itron's proven scale with more than 89 million endpoints under management, 12.3 million DI-enabled endpoints shipped and 9.1 million DI applications licensed, delivering unprecedented results to utilities every day working together in a vibrant ecosystem with 22 partners.

A key component of Itron's Grid Edge Intelligence vision is collaborating with industry leaders to help utilities unlock its value more quickly and access a wide range of applications. Capgemini plays a vital role in this effort, building interoperable distributed intelligence applications, conducting end-to-end testing and enabling the integration of third-party endpoints, including meters, gateways and switches, along with the valuable insights these technologies provide.

Together, Capgemini and Itron continue to make utilities smarter by:

• Customizing Itron's IEE Meter Data Management (MDM) solutions to meet specific customer and market needs. In North America, Capgemini supported a northeast utility in optimizing data management, and in the Middle East, it enhanced user interfaces.
• Development and testing of Itron's Grid Edge Intelligence and Distributed Intelligence applications and low-voltage Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) solutions in Australia to ensure resilience and scalability.
• Enabling integration of non-Itron meters with Itron's solutions, ensuring seamless interoperability across diverse networks. This flexibility empowers utilities to manage their metering infrastructure efficiently, enhancing operational agility.
